      Very interesting company, not a great place to work.

      Pros

      Lot's of autonomy and the opportunity to work with very smart, very hard-working people. Cutting edge technology and very successful business model.

      Cons

      Very individualistic, non-team oriented. A pass/fail attitude that rewards a few for heroic, individual effort, but few systems, support, or clarity. Very spartan work environment. And even lower quality of work life - although some of it is by personal choice, most people look stressed and often frantic.

      Continual chaos and turf wars - but nice view of the harbor.

      Pros

      fast paced. ownership of issues. so many issues arise you can pick the ones you want to work on

      Cons

      in the 6 years I've been there it's as if we *NEVER* learn anything from our mistakes, and commit the same ones over and over again. Senior management is completely disconnected from the workload of the workerbees and completely ignore the chaos and broken tools.

      A strenuous interview process, but the company is filled with top notch people and it was a GREAT experience.

      Pros

      Huge growth potential. All current managers all the way to senior VP moved up the ranks and are quite familiar with internal processes. Regardless of employee perceptions, good or bad, it is hard to argue that the company is not a winner and effectively managed.

      Cons

      The company style is extremely academic. All of the policies read like a checklist from an Ivy league MBA thesis on management. The problem is that every time management theory changes, so do policies and they require all of the managers to read and learn the new way. I found it a bit frustrating. Educational degrees and certificates carry far greater weight than prior outside experience.
